    Ball on a String training Tool

    Potentially silly question... I ordered one of the dog toys. Do I need the pvc handle (I assume so that it can slide freely along the rope) or can I get the same benefit from hanging onto the rope loop?

    Why the Beato drill is so important.

    Yes! That drill was recommended to me in my form check thread. It's helped me more than anything else I've tried to date--my power and accuracy have gone up noticeably and it's taken the strain off of my right knee (no more post round pain). I'm definitely a novice at the golf swing, but it...

    I'm not a beginner, I just throw like one

    This movement has been HUGE for me. When I get a nice controlled back swing and get my hips working from, say, 4 to 10 o'clock I'm getting a really nice power boost. I played a round on Friday at my home course and got into the circle on a couple of holes that I never stood a chance on before...

    Why the Beato drill is so important.

    I gave up on the Beato a while back because it wasn’t working for me. I didn’t know why but you just nailed it...I was focusing ONLY on my right arm. Now, watching it, I see the swim move with the off arm using the shoulders for leverage. Crazy. (BTW, thanks for your beginner series on the...

    I'm not a beginner, I just throw like one

    Good shout and great video, DiscFifty. I have a TERRIBLE nose up problem. I tried the lower reachback while I was throwing yesterday and it definitely helped. I didn't get a huge distance boost, but my understable discs were flying more like understable discs. My lower body is still a mess...

    Simon vs GG = Same Swing

    I was playing a round with my buddy yesterday--we both suck. When the snow started coming down I joked that we should take up bowling instead...but it looks like we'd suck at that too :D

    I'm not a beginner, I just throw like one

    Trying this out it feels like it keeps my weight much more behind my lead hip, without jamming it up. How do I reconcile this movement with the can crush? I see it in the Schusterick gif....I guess I need to work to get my weight shifting from 4 o'clock to 10 ten o'clock while crushing the can...

    I'm not a beginner, I just throw like one

    I haven't been able to get out and throw through the week--it's been dark by the time I finish up at work. I've been swinging a flightowel in the backyard and slowly getting more "pops" than "wooshes." I got some throws on video today and I'm not sure I've made much progress. a7DN1dg_tvI...

    I'm not a beginner, I just throw like one

    I think I follow: Set up back toes in line with my front heel and use more hip rotation to close to the target rather than relying on foot position to do it. Make sure to push my rear hip forward more so than swinging my front hip to the rear. Backswing pulls my front heel up. All my weight...

    I'm not a beginner, I just throw like one

    So I need to crush some cans, right? I'm spinning out now and losing all the power or torque from the ground? I need all my weight to get to the front leg before anything upper body starts moving forward. Is that accurate?

    I'm not a beginner, I just throw like one

    I've been playing off and on for a few years now and I'm tired of getting smoked in the rec division...I want to get smoked in Intermediate. Really, though, I just want to get on the right track to having a consistent, reliable form. I'm not too worried about distance (yet). Here are three...

    Advice on practice/drills

    My unusual work schedule leaves me on the course alone 95% of the time...I'm usually out early on weekday mornings when I can make it. It's great in the sense that I can throw as many shots as I want per hole without worrying about slowing anyone else down, but it's prohibitive to buddying up...

    Advice on practice/drills

    Thank you so much; this is exactly what I was hoping for. I just ordered a couple more Pures and I have a couple of Comets and Truths already...I'll be working with them until I'm getting results. The PowerSnap trainer has my attention (I'm a sucker for gadgets). Is it legit or more gimmicky...
